Too Sensible To Know Better: A Steamy New Adult Romance
Four high heat new adult romance novellas (Colliding, Pretending, Breaking and Choosing) in a single boxset volume…
Friendly, fun, beautiful… half the guys want to date Harriet, but she’s never met that one person who makes her breath catch and her pulse race.
That is until she meets Zach.
Falling for Zach, the Aussie exchange student who's at Oxford for the year and gone at the end of it, isn't something she'd remotely consider. Too far for anything serious long-term, and she knows that long distance simply doesn't work.
Except... from the moment their eyes first meet across a student party, sparks fly. Instant chemistry, insane attraction. Common sense evaporates in the scorching heat of a passionate romance where neither of them can help themselves.
But when Zach needs to move back home, common sense prevails. Because long distance is too hard, right? Harder, it turns out, than either of them ever imagined.
An unputdownable, steamy new adult romance told from both their perspectives across eight messy, passionate, life-altering years, Too Sensible To Know Better is about the scorching love between Harriet and Zach, the mistakes they make, and the lengths they go to to keep on choosing each other.
This boxset of the Too Sensible To Know Better series collects all four separately available novellas (Colliding, Pretending, Breaking and Choosing) in a full-length prequel to the Experimenting world. Read it as a standalone or as the very beginning of Harriet and Zach’s story. W contains themes of infidelity.

Great read
Very enjoyable, plenty of heat but with a great romance story running through it. Can’t wait to read more about Harriet and Zach.
